Closed Top Fountain Kit - FNT3462

Bring rich color, soothing movement, and sculptural presence to your landscape with the Blue Thumb Closed Top Fountain Kit FNT3462. Standing 36 inches high and 17 inches wide, this ceramic vase fountain features a tall, gently tapered form with horizontal ribbing, a glossy deep-blue glaze, and subtle tonal variation. Water bubbles from the closed top to create an inviting outdoor focal point for a garden, courtyard, patio area, business entrance, or other landscaped setting.

This complete outdoor vase fountain kit combines the decorative vase with a concealed water reservoir, recirculating pump, plumbing, automatic water-fill valve, water treatment, and polished pebbles. The coordinated components simplify the process of creating a finished water feature while keeping the operating equipment discreetly below the decorative stone.

Fountain Features

• Distinctive ceramic design: A glossy deep-blue glaze, softly mottled color, and bold horizontal ribbing give the vase an artistic, handcrafted character.
• Substantial outdoor presence: The fountain measures 17" W x 36" H, providing noticeable height without requiring a multi-vase arrangement.
• Recirculating water system: The 660 GPH mag-drive fountain pump moves water from the concealed reservoir through the vase.
• Clean finished presentation: Four bags of your selected polished pebbles cover the basin and complete the surrounding landscape.
• Convenient water-level support: The included automatic water-fill valve can help maintain the reservoir level when properly connected.

Why Choose This Fountain?

FNT3462 offers the look of a custom landscape feature in a coordinated kit. The tall ceramic vase supplies the visual centerpiece, while the Achelous basin stores the recirculating water below the pebble-covered surface. Quick disconnects, kink-free tubing, and pre-plumbed components help streamline assembly and future pump access.

The deep-blue glaze adds saturated color among foliage, ornamental grasses, stone, or neutral hardscaping. Because individually glazed ceramic pieces can have natural variations in color and texture, the vase has the distinctive character of decorative ceramic art.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the ceramic vase, 36-inch Achelous basin reservoir, 660 GPH mag-drive pump, pre-plumbed bulkhead and standpipe assembly, kink-free tubing, quick disconnects, flow-control valve, automatic water-fill valve, fountain water-treatment kit, and 4 bags of your selected polished pebbles weighing 40 lb. each. Lighting is not included.

Is lighting included?

No. Lighting is not included with this closed-top vase fountain, and it does not use a standpipe LED light. Optional exterior fountain lighting is available separately to illuminate the fountain from the outside.

How difficult is installation?

Installation time depends on site preparation and experience, but Blue Thumb vase fountain kits are designed with coordinated, pre-plumbed components and quick connections. Plan for a level location, reservoir placement, plumbing connections, and proper pump setup.

Does the fountain need plumbing?

The fountain uses a recirculating system, and the necessary internal plumbing and flow-control equipment are included. The automatic water-fill valve can be connected to a suitable water supply to help maintain the reservoir level.

Will I still need to check or add water?

Yes. The automatic fill valve can help offset water lost through evaporation and splash when properly installed, but regular water-level checks are still recommended.

What routine maintenance is required?

Periodically check the water level, pump intake, tubing, and basin area, and remove accumulated debris. Use the included treatment as directed; additional fountain water treatments are available for ongoing care.

Can this fountain be installed near a patio or entryway?

Yes. Its tall, single-vase design can complement patios, courtyards, entryways, and garden beds when the location provides a level installation area and sufficient space for the 36-inch-diameter basin.

What should I do during winter?

In freezing climates, winterize the fountain, drain water from exposed components, and remove or protect the pump. Follow Blue Thumb or manufacturer care instructions for complete seasonal guidance.
